Natural-Based Solutions(NBS) refers to the environment-friendly way to meet the challenge of sustainable development through the combination of nature and technology. Various countries have carried out a series of explorations and practices in the field of NBS and provided many demonstration cases, including China. And land desertification is the natural enemy of ecological civilization construction, so in order to build ecological civilization, we must attach great importance to the prevention and control of land desertification, and focus on solving the problem of land desertification. Therefore, based on the case of Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm Project in China, this paper analyzes its problems, measures and implementation plans, further explains how NBS practice in reality, and evaluates the benefits it brings. This will not only enable more people to see the contribution of China to NBS, but also make more people understand the role of NBS and improve the recognition of NBS from people. It will also provide a good case for blocking sand and conserving water for the benefit of countries affected by desertification globally.
